On the tennis court this morning my opponent hit a shot that landed squarely on the baseline. I was running backwards and didn't get there in time.
"No, your point, that was long," he said.
"Absolutely not," I replied. "It hit the line."
Things escalated.
"I saw it! It was long!"
"No way! I was right there!"
Finally he conceded that I just might have had a better view of it and accepted that he had actually won the point.
The tennis pro on the next court, who had clearly been watching the U.S. Open, was amused.
"What you guys need," he advised, "is instant replay."
